W3C on GitHub

The purpose of this page is to progressively list the resources useful when working on
W3C projects using GitHub.
The following links should help you find your way.
Refer to the FAQ for details about the breadth and scope of W3C projects.

In general, it is strongly recommended to use Echidna to publish TR documents rather than the
manual path that goes through the Webmaster (assuming of course that your document is of a
supported type). This document explains how to set up your repository using Travis CI in order
to automatically publish on every commit (to a given branch) and never again have to worry
about what people used to call “heartbeat” publications. With this, you can even get rid of
the notion of Editor's Draft altogether.

Because work that happens on GitHub is spread out across many repositories, it can be challenging
to remain informed about what's going on. Midgard helps there by
filtering the data into mailboxes so that you can for instance get all the events for
WebRTC repositories. Log in there with your W3C credentials, and just start using it. Note:
it does not at this time have many filters and it is likely that your area of interest may not
yet have one. If you wish to add one (which is easy) you should read
the
documentation on Pheme filters.
